Help - is Krell dead?


Hoping to get some cues from other owners. I have an older Krell KAV 280 CD Player that I really like. I am moving to Europe and tried to contact Krell to see if it can be switched to 220v (it is already 50/60hz). (Yes, i could buy a step-down transformer but i prefer converting it internally). No one picks up phones, the voicemail to some guy called Tim Rogers is full. Emails to servcie go unresponded. Does anyone know if there is some way to contact Krell? Dealers I have tried in NJ are also unable to help.....it is so strange. Many thanks for any help.

Just for the record, CDs are not a different standard in Europe.  DVDs and Blu-rays do have different zones and will only play with equipment for that zone, albeit there are hacks for many players.  CDs have no such "protection."

My suggestion: get a streamer and a DAC and forget about CDs!
